A primary source is a source that has seen the event you're researching first hand and has either spoken with you or wrote a book about what they saw. A Secondary source is a source that has known somone who has seen the event and has told them about it. The advantages of a primary source first and foremost is the accuracy of the story. I don't really know of any disadvantages. The Advantages of a Secondary source is that they could propose a new idea or look at the event from a different point of view or study the many different aspects of the event that occured. The disadvantage may be the lack of accuracy because many just do a little research and think they can write a book on it.

What is the difference between absolute deviation and relative deviation?
absolute deviation is a difference between say two numbers. The result has the same units as the two numbers have. Relative deviation is a ratio and so it is a pure number without any units.
What is the difference between frequency distribution and relative frequency distribution?
Frequency distribution refers to a set of frequencies with a particular set of values into which a statistical population is grouped. Relative frequency refers to data presented in a table that demonstrates the relative frequency of multiple non-overlapping classes.

The advantages and disadvantages of Relative Dating Methods?
Relative dating methods provide a chronological framework by determining the relative order of artifacts or events, making it useful for understanding the sequence of geological and archaeological events. However, they do not provide specific ages and rely on the principle of superposition, which may not always accurately reflect the true chronological order. Furthermore, relative dating methods are unable to provide precise dates, making it challenging to compare events across different regions.

What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of internal CD burner and external CD burner?
An external drive will be a little slower because of the speed differences between SATA (internal) and USB (external). The obvious advantage to an external is changeability, ease of access, etc.
